ODOT plans shoulder restrictions on I-75 southbound
Crews will intermittently close shoulders on I-75 southbound between Lyons Road and Pennyroyal Road through early November while installing temporary lighting.
Drivers on I-75 southbound between Lyons Road and Pennyroyal Road should expect intermittent shoulder restrictions as crews install temporary lighting, the Ohio Department of Transportation reports. The work began October 20 and is expected to clear by November 6 ODOT.
What drivers should know
ODOT says the restrictions will come and go along the stretch, rather than closing the road outright, while crews work on temporary lighting ODOT. The affected section sits about 24.4 miles from New Carlisle, so it will mainly matter to those making the longer drive south on I-75 ODOT. The department gives no set schedule for when the shoulder closures will happen within the three-week window, only that they are expected to end by November 6 ODOT.
This report is based on a road-construction notice ODOT issued through OHGO on October 20, 2026 ODOT.
